THE LYRICS:
Darkness, Darkness, Darkness
In the beginning
Solar light warm as ice
Started everything living
Lightning, striking
Every life springs from light
From the waters come swimming

Sunfire, sunfire

Silence, Silence
In the beginning
Silent sound fills the ground
All the oceans are singing
Thunder, roaring
Came the word something stirred
Set the wheel of life spinning

Sunfire, sunfire

Darkness, Darkness, Darkness
In the beginning
Solar light warm as ice
Started everything living
Lightning, striking
Every life springs from light
From the waters come swimming

Sunfire, sunfire...

Some of the photos are not of the original lineup. Too bad, because the original lineup was the best one.

[mardimitriou]

I had to work with what I found...

[monkmann]

Great song. But you forgot to mention bass player Colin Pattenden :-)

[mardimitriou]

He is mentioned. His name is the last in the musicians frame, right before the end of the clip. (The last frame is about the back vocals)

Εξαιρετικό συγκρότημα, εξαιρετικός δίσκος, εξαιρετικό κομμάτι!

Μου θύμησες τις παλιές καλές εποχές του Rock!

[notahemi]

I had forgotten all this stuff off of Solar Fire. Why this wasn't played as much as Blinded By the Light, I'll never know. Much better IMO and I got so sick of the other.
